COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Kenny Hill looked more than ready to replace Johnny Manziel on the field. He is still getting used to the attention that goes along with the job. Hill broke Manziels single-game passing record with 511 yards and No. 21 Texas A&M beat No. 9 South Carolina 52-28 on Thursday night, ending the Gamecocks 18-game home win streak. Hill looked poised and confident in his first start, leading the Aggies (1-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) to the most total and passing yards against South Carolina. The sophomore completed 44 of 60 passes with three touchdowns. The hardest part of his night came after the celebration on the field. "I just wanted to get the first press conference over with," said Hill, who hadnt spoken with reporters before. "I get nervous up here." Thats a far cry from Manziel, a lightning-rod personality quick to speak his mind and gesture to crowds and opponents. Johnny Football rode his flashy style all the way to the Heisman Trophy in his freshman year, and one of the Aggies biggest worries was if they could find the same rhythm with a different leader. Hill made it clear they could. "We arent a one-trick pony," Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin said. But Hill would like a different nickname: "I dont really like Kenny Football." Hill helped Texas A&M to a 31-14 halftime lead and finished up with the most passing yards allowed in Steve Spurriers 10 seasons with the Gamecocks (0-1, 0-1). "I think we all had a chip on our shoulders," Texas A&M defensive lineman Julien Obioha said. The Gamecocks played their first game since the departure of star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney -- and it showed. South Carolina gave up seven TDs on A&Ms first 11 possessions. Tra Carson ran for three touchdowns and receiver Malcome Kennedy had 14 catches for 137 yards. The Aggies piled up 680 yards of offence, the most South Carolinas given up since Arkansas went for 650 in 2007. Manziel held five of the Aggies six best single-game passing marks, topped by his 464 yards in a loss to Alabama last season. Hill moved past them all with his flawless showing on the road. "That team was so much better than us, it wasnt funny," said Spurrier, trying for his 200th victory as an SEC coach. "They out-coached us, out-played us, they were better prepared and they knew what they were doing." Hills 44 completions were also a single-game school record, moving past Jerrod Johnsons mark against Oklahoma State in 2010. Hill and the Aggies essentially put this one away in the first half, scoring on five of six possessions. Hill, who played just four games last year in mop-up duty, looked at ease against the Gamecocks and their young defence. Hill completed passes to 12 receivers, most of them running free in a rebuilt secondary. South Carolina, coming off three straight 11-2 seasons, had hoped to kick off a run to the conference title in a Thursday night showcase game on the startup SEC Network. Manziel, taken 22nd overall by Cleveland, was among three Texas A&M players picked in the first round last May. And the Aggies showed they could still operate without last years standouts. "We were ready to prove everyone wrong," Hill said. "We were ready to show we could play without Johnny." Malcome Kennedy had 10 catches for 85 yards in the first two quarters, allowing Aggie fans to rest easy about star Mike Evans moving on to Tampa Bay. The offensive line provided plenty of time for Hill despite Jake Matthews heading to the NFLs Atlanta Falcons. The Aggies got going on their first possession, and Carson finished a 67-yard drive with 1-yard TD. South Carolina stayed close on two long scoring throws of 69 and 46 yards by new starting quarterback Dylan Thompson, the second to Damiere Byrd that helped the Gamecocks close to 17-14. But Hill and the Aggies were relentless, pressing forward through South Carolinas Clowney-less defence. Hill, the son of ex-major league pitcher Ken Hill, led TD drives of 75 and 80 yards in the final nine minutes before the half. The 393 yards of A&M offence at the half were more than South Carolinas defence had allowed in nine of 13 games a year ago. Thompson passed for 366 yards and four touchdowns. Mike Davis, the Gamecocks 1,000-yard rusher, had 15 yards in the first half before re-injuring his ribs and sitting out the rest of the way.

I thought in my head there was a chance to score.Bridgewater saw the Jets ready to bring heavy pressure on third-and-5, so he used a check to call for the bubble screen pass. Jets coach Rex Ryan, who moved one loss closer to a possible firing after the season, second-guessed himself for the blitz.He hadnt hit anything against it all day. Probably showed our hand a little too early there, Ryan said, adding: But I came here to win the game, not just play it close. Obviously, so thats clearly on my shoulders.Bridgewater threw a bit high, but Wright jumped for the off-balance grab, slipped by Jaiquawn Jarrett and outran defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson the rest of the way with a block by John Sullivan to help spring the sprint.I just missed the tackle. Theres no excuse for that. Ive got to get him on the ground, Jarrett said.Booed every time his name was announced, Harvin hobbled off the field after taking a hard hit from Josh Robinson as he neared the sideline late in the fourth quarter. Harvin had a 35-yard touchdown reception and a 47-yard kickoff return. He finished with 124 yards on six catches in his first game in Minnesota in more than two years after playing his first 3 1/2 seasons with the Vikings (6-7), who beat the Jets for the first time in eight matchups since Oct. 12, 1975.I wanted to be in that battle with my guys to finish this thing out. But I couldnt go, said Harvin, who left on crutches.Cordarrelle Patterson, the player the Vikings drafted last year to take Harvins place, was again a nonfactor with the offence and lost a fumble on a kickoff that led to one of five field goals by Nick Folk, who tied the game at 24 with 23 seconds left in regulation.Gerald Hodges returned an interception thrown by Geno Smith for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, but the much-maligned second-year quarteerback bounced back for the Jets (2-11) by going 18 for 29 for 254 yards and tallying 33 yards rushing on six attempts.dddddddddddd Smith was just 7 of 13 for 49 yards against Miami in the last game.The Jets totalled 410 yards of offence, their second-highest output this season.We didnt cover anybody today. We let them off on third downs. We didnt protect the quarterback nearly as well as Id thought, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said, listing his disappointments. We were sloppy with the ball. I dont know. How much time you got?Richardson had a safety among his three sacks, but Bridgewater wasnt rattled by that big hit he took in his own end zone in the first quarter. He finished 19 of 27 for 309 yards and two touchdowns. Charles Johnson caught the first one for 56 yards and totalled 103 yards on four receptions.Johnson almost scored again in the second quarter, when Bridgewater connected as he was hit for a 22-yard gain to the goal line. Johnson fumbled as he tried to reach across, but Jerome Felton dived between two Jets to recover it in the end zone for his first career score and a 21-12 lead for the Vikings.Go out there and let it rip and dont worry about overthinking things and trying to be perfect, has become Bridgewaters mantra, at the urging of quarterbacks coach Scott Turner. Said Bridgewater: Because when you try to be perfect, thats when you make mistakes.NOTES: According to STATS research, the only series with a longer stretch of one team beating the other was between the Jets and Philadelphia from Dec. 9, 1973. The Eagles have never lost to the Jets in nine matchups. Denvers 10 straight wins over Cleveland is the longest active streak in the league by number of games. ... Vikings DT Sharrif Floyd aggravated his knee injury and didnt play in the second half. SS Robert Blanton hurt his left leg and was scheduled for an MRI test. LG Charlie Johnson also left the game, with a sprained right ankle. ... Eric Decker had six catches for 89 yards for the Jets in his return to his alma mater. ... Harvins last scoring reception was for the Vikings on Oct. 25, 2012, against Tampa Bay, also the last time he played in Minnesota.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
